               disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our

               the period in which this report is being prepared;

               fiscal quarter of the period covered by this report that has
               materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
               affect, the registrant's internal control over financial
               reporting; and

5.   The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I have disclosed to the

     directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):

          (a)  all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the
               design or operation of internal control over financial reporting
               which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's
               ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial
               information; and

          (b)  any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or
